Finally got my p3-700e with cB0 stepping. 1008 Mhz Rulez :c)

Yay!!!
I finally got my new p3-700e. It has the S-Code SL45Y so it has cB0 stepping (payed 10$ extra for that but it's worth it ). I tryed 142 FSB at first and it worked perfectly at 994 Mhz. I wanted to go higher so i did. I set the FSB to 144 and the it's ROCK SOLID. Played Q3 for 2 hours and ran Seti for about one hour and didn't get any problems at all.
And I am using Standart Heatsink & Fan !!!
This CPU OwNz!

Congrats! If you want to post pics you must first have some webspace to upload the pics into. Geocities or Zing will host your photos and you can link to them with the [img] tag. Read this for more info.

Anyways, a cB0 is a stepping, like a product revision. At the risk of over-simplifing the rather technical process of stepping/manufacturing, later steppings typically produce a more 'refined' product that runs cooler and faster.
